Description

Using method of cupping with deep heat transfer function

The present invention relates to a cupping using method having a deep heat transfer function of heat and waves in order to efficiently discharge gas, inflammation and waste products through the skin and pores deep into the skin through ultrasonic, low frequency or microcurrent and vacuum control.

In general, the cupping device operates the pump with its inlet in close contact with the affected part, so that a negative pressure below atmospheric pressure is generated by the reciprocating motion of the pump, and the vacuum pressure difference is a device used to discharge body fluids out of the skin. It is mainly used for the discharge of body fluids containing gas, inflammation and waste products.

These cuppings usually apply vacuum pressure to the affected area to discharge gas, inflammation, and wastes, but they can also be applied to the gas, inflammation through the needle in places where muscles are agglomerated, fatty, and blood circulation is not smooth. In addition, there was no inconvenience in use because it did not form a path through which waste products are discharged, and thus requires an operation such as massaging or precisely adjusting vacuum pressure.

In addition, since only the vacuum pressure is applied to the skin, since the vacuum pressure is not transmitted well to the depth of the skin, there is a problem in that gas, inflammation, waste, etc. deep in the skin are not discharged.

On the other hand, ultrasonic waves are defined as sound waves with a frequency of about 20,000 Hz or more that cannot be felt as sounds by the human ear, and cavitation, acoustic streaming, and particles generated by such ultrasonic waves. Particle accelerated velocity and the like directly and indirectly affect the human body. In general, ultrasonic waves for therapeutic use are used so that the other two effects dominate without generating cavitation among the above shapes.

On the other hand, in the above cavitation, the compressive force and the depressurization force act upon ultrasonic waves in the liquid. When the decompression force is applied, the gases dissolved in the liquid gather to generate bubbles. The cavitation, or cavitation, which is almost vacuum, occurs. Bubbles are contracted during the application of ultrasonic waves and lose air while expanding in the pressure reducer. If the strength is too high or the expansion time is too long, the bubbles gradually become larger. When compression and expansion are repeated enough to reach the limit size, the bubble bursts, which is called unstable cavitation, and when expansion and compression is repeated when it falls short of the limit, this stability cavitation increases skin permeability. As one of the mechanisms, it is generated by periodic repetition of expansion and contraction at the intensity of ultrasonic wave 10W / cm2 or more.

When the cavitation is applied to the skin, when ultrasonic waves penetrate into the skin as a physical function, vibrations to the cell nucleus are transmitted, and cells and cells collide with each other, thereby stimulating cell movement, thereby stimulating cellular metabolism or It is reported that the regenerative activity is activated, and the heat caused by the strong vibration is mostly absorbed and moved by the blood to promote blood circulation and improve blood vessel function.

In addition, a weak (microscopic) current flows through the human body, which is the brain and organ organs that transmit information to each other to maintain health, and when the health is poor, the biocurrent becomes weak and unstable. In addition, microcurrent is known to have a function of actively supporting metabolism and blood circulation and eventually increasing natural healing power.

In other words, the appropriate microcurrent (about 0.06mA) is the weak alkaline of the blood, the expansion of blood vessels, the normalization of blood pressure, the diuretic action, the normalization of the pulse, the strengthening of the heart, the increase of collagen synthesis rate, the promotion of leukocytes, the bactericidal effect, the bacterial growth inhibition. It has been shown medically to be effective in inhibiting E. coli growth, improving microvascular blood circulation, promoting protein synthesis capacity, doubling treatment speed, promoting fatigue recovery, correcting autonomic nerves, promoting growth, purifying water, and removing odors. (Borgens et al .; Barker, Jasffe and Vanable, 1982; Borgens et al., 1980) (Korean Journal of Physical Therapy Vol. 16, No. 3) (Korean Journal of Professional Physiotherapy, Vol. 3, No. 1) (Korean Journal of Physical Therapy Vol. 6 1) (Research Paper, Prof. Lee Tae-kyu, Kim Mun-chan, Professor of Neurosurgery, Gangnam St. Mary's Hospital).

As another example, Jun-Oh Kim and Orthopedic Kwon, Won-Ahn Kwon, Department of Physiotherapy, College of Rehabilitation Science, Daegu University, Yun-Ki Park, Department of Physiotherapy, College of Health, Daegu Health, and Tae-Hwang Hwang, Chonnam National University, Seoul, Korea, have many clinical studies on microcurrent (Alon, 1986; Barron 1985; Carley, Wainapel, 1985) and animal experiments (Alvare, 1983; Bourguigron, 1987; Cheng, 1982; Suzuki, 1986) showed that microcurrent stimulation stimulates tissue healing and repair processes. The study provides evidence that intracellular ATP resynthesis, protein synthesis, and DNA replication rates are increased by direct electrical stimulation.

The effects of the microcurrent stimulation have the effects of pain relief (direct pain reduction by directly blocking the propagation of the action potential), edema reduction (reduction of edema due to the movement of body fluid), and the effect and metabolism of the electrical stimulation on muscles It is divided into changes in action and changes in blood vessels.

In other words, the effect of microcurrent stimulation on the muscles, the muscles are moved by electrical stimulation through the nerve cells, stimulating the surface of the muscles with an electrotherapy device, when a certain amount of electricity enters, namely muscle atrophy It can delay the progression of the reduced state, and it has a motor effect by the repetitive action of contraction and relaxation, and the cooperative muscle is also activated.

As a metabolic change, experiments have demonstrated that the stimulated muscles can feel less fatigue such as reduced lactic acid and prevent oxidase activity due to changes in enzymes. As the distribution increases, peripheral blood vessels expand and help to improve blood flow. (Park, Ra-Joon, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Physiotherapy, College of Rehabilitation Science, Daegu University)-The effect of microcurrent of pulsating electromagnetic energy on wound healing of rabbits-Korean Physics The Journal of Therapeutics Vol. 12, No. 3)

In addition, low frequency treatment is applied to the human body by applying minute electromagnetic waves between 2-10000Hz to massage the muscles with the stimulation, and when applied to the nerve area, it is effective in relieving muscle pain, fatigue recovery and improving blood circulation, neuralgia, peripheral It helps natural recovery such as nerve palsy, and it is especially effective in restoring the body's biorhythm by relieving fatigue or pain caused by mental stress from daily life.

However, there is no research to improve the effects of gas, inflammation, and waste discharge by applying the above-mentioned ultrasonic cavitation phenomenon, microcurrent and low frequency technology to cupping.

An object of the present invention is to improve the effect of bleeding blood by applying an alternative function among the above-described ultrasonic wave, microcurrent or low frequency, and to easily apply these ultrasonic wave, microcurrent or low frequency to the cupping. will be.

In addition, by using the cavitation phenomenon of the ultrasonic wave to promote the capillary bubble generation, and by repeatedly repeating the process of rapidly changing the vacuum pressure of the cupping bubble is generated and promptly circulating the blood deep into the skin It is to provide a method of using the cupping to discharge the gas, inflammation, waste products generated by the.

In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to improve the effect of bleeding blood by mixing and modulating the high and low frequency bands of ultrasound so that the vacuum pressure can be transmitted to the shallow part of the skin and the deep part of the skin.

In addition, while applying the microcurrent or low frequency to the skin with the use of cupping, it is an object to improve the effect of bleeding blood while allowing the microcurrent or low frequency to be delivered deep into the skin through the control of the vacuum pressure.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, the cupping container provided with a plurality of conductors in close contact with the skin and spaced apart from each other at the close end; An ultrasonic wave, low frequency or microcurrent generator selectively connected to the conductor of the cupping vessel; A vacuum control unit which sucks air in the cupping container to generate a vacuum in the cupping container and releases the vacuum inside the cupping container; A pressure measuring unit for measuring the pressure inside the cupping container; and using the cupping device including the ultrasonic wave, the low frequency or the microcurrent generator to generate the ultrasonic wave, the low frequency or the microcurrent, The method of using the cupping, characterized in that to control the operation of the vacuum control unit according to the pressure to apply a negative pressure to the cupping container, but to drop the vacuum pressure instantaneously.

In the above, the conductor may be formed by plating at the end of the cupping vessel or integrally injection molding so that the conductor is exposed to the outside when the cupping vessel is formed.

The controller controls the operation of the ultrasonic generator so that two or more signals having different frequencies or two or more signals having different waveforms are combined in the ultrasonic generator.

In addition, the controller adjusts the vacuum pressure forming or holding time.

In addition, the ultrasonic wave, low frequency or micro current generator and the conductor are integrally provided with a connection terminal having a hole or a pin shape connected to the conductors provided to be spaced apart from the vessel, and the vessel, the ultrasonic wave, low frequency or micro current generator. Pin or hole-shaped connection port corresponding to the connection terminal provided in the integrally formed, so that the connection is easily connected only by detaching the connection port and the connection terminal.

According to the present invention having the configuration as described above, by inducing heat and vibration to the depth of the skin (5-10cm) without damaging the skin by the ultrasonic rash to induce relaxation of capillaries, such ultrasonic rash When bubble formation of capillaries is promoted by a cavitation phenomenon, the capillaries function is activated by ultrasonic oscillation and vacuum pressure between the pores of the skin and organs in the body to discharge them to the outside. In other words, when the vibration of ultrasonic waves is transmitted to the skin to promote the generation of gas in the blood vessel, the vacuum pressure is repeatedly adjusted and the skin tissue is repeatedly contracted and relaxed through repeated adjustment of the vacuum pressure. Therefore, waste can be easily discharged.

And by controlling the depth of the ultrasonic wave through the frequency modulation, gas, inflammation, and waste can be discharged in the shallow and deep skin.

In addition, since the conductor for ultrasonic generation is formed at the edge of the cupping container in intimate contact with the skin, the conductor and the skin are in intimate contact with each other, so that a medium such as a gel for ultrasound transmission is not required, which is convenient to use. have.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The cupping device for implementing the cupping method according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the cupping container 20 is provided with a plurality of conductors 10 in close contact with the skin and spaced apart from each other at the close end; An ultrasonic generator 30, a low frequency generator 34, and a microcurrent generator 36 connected to the conductor 10 of the cupping vessel 20 to generate ultrasonic waves, low frequencies, and microcurrents; A vacuum control part 40 which sucks air in the cupping container 20 to generate a vacuum in the cupping container and releases the vacuum inside the cupping container; A pressure measuring unit (60) for measuring the pressure inside the cupping container (20); And controlling the operation of the vacuum control unit 40 according to the pressure sensed by the pressure measuring unit 60 while driving the ultrasonic generator 30 to generate ultrasonic waves, low frequencies, and microcurrents. The control unit 70 and the input unit 80 for controlling the operation of the cupping device to repeat the set high vacuum state and low vacuum state to apply a negative pressure to the).

In the above, the cupping vessel 20 is formed of a transparent glass or plastic, as shown in Figures 2 to 4, the upper portion is provided with a pressure regulator 22 for controlling the vacuum pressure connected to the vacuum control unit 40, In the lower end, a border 24 having a smooth cross section is formed to be in close contact with the skin, and the plurality of conductors 10 spaced apart from each other are plated, coated, and inserted into the contact surface of the skin 24. The plurality of conductors 10 are each connected to a plurality of hole-shaped connecting terminals 26 installed in the cupping container 20, and the connecting terminal 26 protrudes into the cupping container 20. It is integrally injection-molded so that the upper part is opened to the part 28, and the said accommodating part 28 may protrude separately from the cupping container 20 as shown in FIG. As a receptacle In addition, since the shape change of the accommodation portion is only an option to those skilled in the art, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

The ultrasonic, low frequency, and microcurrent generators 30, 34, and 36 are pin-shaped connectors for connecting to the hole-shaped connection terminals 26 connected to the conductor 10 of the cupping vessel 20. It is formed to include (32), it is to be connected simply by the process of attaching and detaching the connection port 32 and the connection terminal (26). The ultrasonic generator 30 is generally configured using a piezoelectric body, and oscillates by combining two or more signals having different frequencies or two or more signals having different waveforms by an operation control signal output from the controller 70. As an example, as shown in Figs. 6A and 6B, signals of sine waves 1Mhz and 5Mhz are combined oscillated, or as shown in Fig. 7, oscillations are controlled and combined with sine waves, triangle waves, square waves, and the like.

At this time, the oscillation frequency is usually 0.75 ~ 5MHz, high band (3-5MHz) can be a shallow portion of the skin, low band (1MHz) can be oscillated in the deep portion of the skin. The difference in the arrival position in the skin according to the frequency band is related to the attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. Low frequencies can go deep into the skin because of the low attenuation of ultrasound. Higher frequencies have higher attenuation and are not transmitted deep.

The ultrasonic focusing device may be further provided to adjust the arrival position of the ultrasonic waves in the skin through the frequency adjustment.

Frequency waveforms are divided into smooth sine waves, pointed triangles, and dull square waveforms. The waveforms have different characteristics and characteristics of heat and vibration that transmit heat and vibration. The shock wave is slower than the triangular wave, and the shock wave has a dull effect and sharp sound. The sine wave has the characteristic of transmitting the shock between the triangle wave and the square wave. not big.

The present invention uses a combination of the two frequencies (phase and amplitude) and the waveform (sine wave triangle wave square wave) to modulate each other to operate the low frequency to deep and to operate the high frequency in the shallow In this way, it is possible to obtain adipose cell decomposition, intravascular bubbles, inflammation separation, waste separation effect, and pain relief effect in the body.

In addition, the ultrasonic generator of the present invention is able to focus the ultrasonic energy to a localized area precisely by using high energy of 100 ~ 10000Watt / ㎠, high intensity ultrasound of 1000Watt / ㎠ to increase the temperature of the focal region tissue 1 It is known that it can raise to 65 degreeC or more within second. As such, if the temperature of the skin tissue is quickly increased, blood circulation is smoothly performed, and pores are expanded, and the gas, inflammation, and waste products from the deep pores are smoothly discharged.

On the other hand, the vacuum control unit 40 is to generate or release the vacuum pressure inside the cupping vessel 20, and to control the strength and time intervals of the vacuum pressure, the pump 42 for generating a vacuum pressure, and It is provided between the pump 42 and the cupping vessel 20 is configured to include a switching unit 44 to control the opening and closing by the operation control signal from the control unit 70 to adjust the vacuum pressure of the cupping vessel 20. , The pressure inside the cupping vessel 20 to maintain a rapid change to a high vacuum and low vacuum while maintaining a vacuum and drop the vacuum.

This briefly looks at the reason for adjusting the vacuum pressure. In other words, the point at which the liquid forms a phase change (gas liquid solid) at room temperature is promoted by the conversion of vacuum energy. For example, when a vacuum is applied by placing water in a sealed container at a temperature of 20 ° C and 1 atm (1013 mbar), the liquid changes to gas at 23 mbar. Is converted to a solid. This is called a phase change caused by random manipulation of the energy imbalance.

As such, if the balance of energy is broken by using vacuum at room temperature, a phase change is made. The conversion of gases, liquids and solids is possible with a vacuum shock without heating. When applied to the skin, a vacuum shock wave is transmitted to the exposed skin, which is connected to the deep place of the capillaries through the pores, maximizing the action of the gas and waste products in the body to be discharged out of the skin. (Induced Maximization of Contractile Relaxation Action of Capillaries by Vacuum Shock Wave)

By causing this phenomenon on the skin, a vacuum shock is generated on the skin surface. This action is transferred to the capillaries through the pores to maximize the action of the gas and inflammation from the deep deep outside the capillaries to the outside of the skin.

Accordingly, in the present invention, two or more programs are repeatedly operated to perform a function of suddenly dropping and raising again from a high vacuum state (1 to 10 kPa) to a low vacuum (70 to 80 kPa) state.

In addition, the controller controls the vacuum pressure formation or maintenance time, such as high vacuum holding time, falling time from high vacuum to low vacuum, low vacuum holding time or rising time from low vacuum to high vacuum, so that the discharge is made efficiently according to the skin condition. However, in the location where the skin tissue is agglomerated, the time interval can be shortened to obtain a soothing effect, and in the area where the skin tissue is not agglomerated, the time interval can be relaxed to give the experience to the cupper.

On the other hand, the input unit 80 may be any one that can select and control the operation mode of the cupping device, such as a button switch, a keypad, a dial, and can operate both wired and wireless, and from the control unit to various devices. The transmitted signal can also be processed by wire or wirelessly.

In addition, the ultrasonic generator 30 and the low frequency generator 34 or the microcurrent generator 36 are connected to or disconnected from the electrical connection with the controller 70 so that the controller generates the low frequency and the ultrasonic generator 30. Only the device connected in the main unit 34 or the microcurrent generator 36 may be controlled, and the input unit 80 may be used among the ultrasonic wave, the low frequency or the microcurrent generator 30, 34, 36. It is also possible to control the operation of the device in accordance with the control signal output from the input unit 80 to be able to select the desired device.
